MAVS NEWS:

Good stuff, but I’m pretty much out on Klay. The Mavs may want to keep him because they gave their word or to keep harmony with Kyrie, but he’s done as a consistent contributor. So, Klay plus Maxi equals 26.8 - 2= 24.8 coming back. You can work with that.

It's not just a matter of stubborn internal ethics not to trade Klay. It's that we'll never, ever sign a significant FA with Nico as GM again if we trade Klay in-season. That matters, from where I'm sitting anyway.
